“Arma virumque cano........."
*Literally: "I sing of arms and man".
__I sing the praises of a man's struggles__”
Translation of the opening verses of the first book of Virgil´s Aeneid, by John Dryden( XVII century)
"Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc\'d by fate,
And haughty Juno\'s unrelenting hate,
Expell\'d and exil\'d, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin\'d town;
His banish\'d gods restor\'d to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line,
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome".”
― Virgil, The Aeneid

“Ho trascinato la mia sporca vita attraverso il deserto! E tu vorresti che ci vedessi delle sfumature!”

“Some people may be brokenhearted not because they’ve been hurt but because they’ve never found someone who mattered enough to hurt them.”

“Lei sa che cos’è il fascino: un modo di sentirsi rispondere di sì senza aver fatto chiaramente nessuna domanda.”
